Trial summary

Efavirenz is predominantly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6. Fenofibric Acid is an inhibitor of CYP 2B6. This study will evaluate the effect of multiple doses of fenofibric acid at steady-state on the pharmacokinetics of single-dose efavirenz in healthy adult subjects. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Drug Interaction Study to Investigate the Effects of Steady State Fenofibric Acid on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Efavirenz in Healthy Volunteers

Efavirenz is predominantly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6. Fenofibric Acid is an inhibitor of CYP 2B6. This study will evaluate the effect of multiple doses of fenofibric acid at steady-state on the pharmacokinetics of single-dose efavirenz in healthy adult subjects.

Read the detailed description

Efavirenz is predominantly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6. Fenofibric Acid is an inhibitor of CYP 2B6. This study will evaluate the effect of multiple doses of fenofibric acid at steady-state on the pharmacokinetics of single-dose efavirenz in healthy adult subjects. On study Day 1 after a fast of at least 10 hours, thirty healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, non-pregnant adult volunteers between the ages of 18 and 45 will be given one oral dose of efavirenz (1 x 600 mg tablet). Fasting will continue for 4 hours after the dose. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 120 hours post-dose at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz. A 21 day washout period will be completed after the first dose of efavirenz on Day 1. On Days 22 through 30, all subjects will receive a single oral dose of fenofibric acid (1 x 105 mg tablet) in the morning without regard to meals. On the morning of Day 31 after a fast of at least 10 hours, all study participants will receive co-administered single oral doses of efavirenz (1 x 600 mg tablet) and fenofibric acid (1 x 105 mg tablet). Fasting will continue for 4 hours after the dose. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 120 hours post-dose at times sufficient to adequately determine the pharmacokinetics of efavirenz. A further goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be monitored throughout participation in the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Vital signs (seated blood pressure and pulse) will be measured prior to dosing and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 31 and prior to dosing and at approximately 1, 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 22 to coincide with peak plasma concentrations of both efavirenz and fenofibric acid. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the Investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Efavirenz

    The maximum or peak concentration that efavirenz reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing on Days 1 and 31 and then 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after dose administration.

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)]

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule for efavirenz.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing on Days 1 and 31 and then 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after dose administration

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)]

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. [AUC(0-∞)] was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant for efavirenz.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn immediately prior to dosing on Days 1 and 31 and then 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after dose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Efavirenz 600 mg and Fenofibric Acid in people with Healthy, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Efavirenz (time frame: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing on Days 1 and 31 and then 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after dose administration.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2012.
